Sommario/riassunto

D’où vient la reconnaissance de l’asile et quels effets ont eu sur les plans juridique et administratif les vagues d’exil qui se sont succédé en Europe, du temps des guerres de Religion à celui des nations du XIXe siècle ? Pour répondre à cette question, il fallait que l’histoire du droit et celle des idées se combinent avec l’examen des parcours d’individus confrontés à l’attitude de protection ou de surveillance des autorités de divers États. Aux expériences de Venise à l’époque moderne et de l’exil protestant depuis la Hongrie ou vers les Amériques en passant par les pays du Refuge européen font écho les ajustements politiques issus de la Révolution et les réponses données au siècle suivant en France ou dans la péninsule italienne. Quatre sections structurent l’ouvrage. L’asile devient à partir du XVIe siècle une forme juridique qui se détache peu à peu de l’Église. Les expériences d’exil ponctuent une quête de liberté et de tolérance religieuse. Les exilés accueillis ou refusés se transforment en enjeux de stratégies internationales des États européens. Enfin, le XIXe siècle donne un contenu effectif à l’asile sans que le droit d’asile soit reconnu et pratiqué de façon universelle, laissant place à des modes de surveillance et de contrôle de plus en plus affinés.

Sommario/riassunto

Decadent Orientalisms presents a sustained critique of the ways Orientalism and decadence have formed a joint discursive mode of the imperial imagination. Attentive to historical and literary configurations of language, race, religion, and power, Fieni shows the importance of understanding Western discourses of Eastern decline and obsolescence together with Arab and Islamic responses in which the language of decadence returns as a characteristic of the West. Taking seriously Edward Said’s claim that Orientalism is a “style of having power,” Fieni works historically through the aesthetic and ideological effects of Orientalist style, showing how it is at once comparative, descriptive,



and performative. Orientalism, the book argues, relies upon decadence as the figure through which its positivist scientific claims become redistributed as speech acts—“truths” that establish dominance. Rather than attending to Orientalism as a repertoire of clichés and stereotypes, Decadent Orientalisms considers the systemic epistemological consequences of the diffuse, yet coherent network of institutions that have constituted Orientalism’s power.
